1. When was MessiYah Born?

Explanation

Nobody knows the exact date of the MessiYAH’s birth. However, most experts agree that it most likely was not December 25th. Remember, Miriam and Yoseph were required to take part in the Roman census. It is unlikely that the Roman government would require its citizens to go to Bethlehem in the winter. It would be too much of a burden. Secondly, scripture says that shepherds were abiding in the fields tending their flocks at the time of the MessiYah’s birth. It was not the tradition of shepherds to do this in winter. The latest one would usually find shepherds in the fields in Israel would be in late October.

About This Quiz
Are Christians As Smart As A 5th Grader - Quiz

This quiz tests the knowledge of Christians regarding a day they revere called Christmas.

2. Does Scripture support mistletoe?

Explanation

Ancient pagans revered mistletoe because they believed it increased one’s potency or fertility. Mistletoe is one of those rare plants that actually blooms in the winter. Celtic Druid priests would collect it. The Nordic people believed mistletoe was in fact the sperm or seed of the forest gods. And according to Joe Kovacs and his book Shocked by the Bible, mistletoe berries contain a liquid that resembles human sperm.

3. Do the Scriptures support the celebration of the MessiYah’s birth with trees?

4. Why is the Christmas ham a tradition for the holidays?

Explanation

The ancient Nordic people actually ate pig on December 25th in honor of their god, Frey. Frey or Freyr (meaning "lord") is one of the most important gods of Norse paganism. Freyr was associated with farming, weather and, as a phallic fertility god, Freyr "bestows peace and pleasure on mortals". Frey was said to have rode a boar, thus we get the celebration of the pig and consumption of pork.

5. Why is December 25th celebrated as the birth of the Savior?

Explanation

The Catholic Church also known as the universal church invited almost every type of pagan tradition into Christianity. This is called syncretism. This is why you will find almost every pagan practice encapsulated in Catholicism.

Submit
6. Does the Scripture reference Yule time and Yule logs?

Explanation

Yule is the name of an ancient Babylonian god celebrated during the winter solstice (the longest night of the year). Yule worshippers would burn logs honoring their god, hence the Yule log. The Anglo-Saxons began calling their December 25th celebration Yule day long before Christianity made its way to Europe.

Submit
7. The MessiYAH was born in a stable in a manger because Miriam and Yoseph didn’t have enough money to afford an inn?

Explanation

The MessiYAH was born in a manger because there were no accommodations available to house him and his family.

Submit
8. When were the traditions of Christmas first celebrated?

Explanation

The traditions of Christmas were practiced hundreds of years before the Savior was born. The ancient Egyptians and Babylonians both held celebrations during this time of year that paralleled Christmas to worship their Sun god. Later the Romans integrated this celebration into their culture and called it Dies Natalis Invicti Solis—“the birthday of the Unconquered Sun.”

Submit
9. Christmas was banned in colonial America by Christians?

Explanation

Christmas was banned in New England for 22 years from 1659 to 1681. And it was Christians in England and in colonial America who helped pass laws to ban it. These early Christians at least knew the pagan origins of Christmas and tried to prevent its celebrations. There are some Protestant denominations that don’t celebrate it still.

11. Where do the traditional colors of Christmas come from—red, gold, white, and green?

Explanation

“A Yule altar is usually set up and decorated with the colors red, green, white and gold. It is tradition for some on Yule to stay awake all night and greet the sun when it rises (think Christmas sunrise services). During the wait for the sun, rituals are held, and spells are cast and joyous celebration takes place." - A Pagan History of Christmas by Lisa Pawley

13. How many wise men attended the MessiYah at his birth in the manger?

Explanation

There were no wise men present at the Savior's birth. They came to visit him much later. In fact, MT. 2:11 says they visited MessiYAH when he was living in a house. Since Herod slew all boys in Bethlehem under 2 years old, we know that the Wise men could have visited up to two years after the Savior's birth.

Submit

15. What does the word Christ mean?

Explanation

Christ is derived from a Greek word "Christos" or "Chrestos". It means anointed. Kris Kringle derives from the German word Christkindl which means Christ child. And according to C.J. Koster in his book, Come out of Her, My People, there were pagans worshippers of the ancient god Serapis who even called themselves Christians 200 years before the birth of the MessiYAH. According to the German encyclopedia, Realencyclopaedie, the word Chrestos can be found on a Mithras painting in the Vatican. Mithras was ancient god served by the Persians and Romans.
